Don't worry according to this guy we've being saved by the 49... E.T's Who came from a long distance space travel with lots of trash dumping that on
our sun... And you know what it seems to work hallelujah... praise the loouh.. aliens!

Another who is not concerned at all...maybe some small scale problems created by the minority, or possible panic due to a manufactured internet down
time? It's all bull though, we will move forward into an amazing age. Be positive.

It already happened. Weren't you watching? It happened March 12, 2012 9:33 PM.
The SDO was watching. What in the world is that triangle on our sun?
The entire 2012 year has been exciting.
December 21, 2012 is just the passing through the Milky Way Galactic Plane.

I've been reading about Friday for almost 20 years now. The weird thing is there is very little hype at all going for the 21st. There have been a
ton of weaker predictions that have gotten way more attention than this by the media. How bizarre.

In my area of the world it's been getting blown up by the media for the last month.

I wasn't until yesterday. I live in central Kentucky. It was 61 degrees, raining, hailing. I get to my house after work and the hail and unrelentless
rain and arrive to clear blue skies and 4...count them 4...double rainbows. One is rare. What is 4???

It was all over the news and were sighted everywhere yesterday around the area.

I just dont know what to make of it. Look to the right of the picture and you will see smaller thumbnails of the double rainbows spotted all over the
area.

It doesn't work like that. They had no use for "Leap Year" because they calulated it into their long count straight off the bat. Their method of
timekeeping is the accurate one not dictated by 360 days but 360 degrees.

Mayas' missing leap year

The ancient Maya, famed for their elaborate and accurate calendar systems, observed two calendar years, but neither seemed to have bothered with a
leap year.

"As far as we know, the people of Mesoamerica, the Maya included, didn't care about leap years," said Anthony Aveni, an expert in ancient
Mesoamerican astronomy at Colgate University.

The Maya solar year of 365 days was central to the agricultural cycle, while their ritual year of 260 days was critical for determining auspicious
dates.

These calendars were carefully designed to synchronize in 52-year cycles, but no effort was made to prevent "drifting" dates.

"They didn't care if they didn't have a white Christmas, or if their Fourth of July wasn't in the summer, to put it in our terms," Aveni
explained.

The Maya instead placed priority on marking the passage of time through additional calendar systems such as the Long Count, which unfolds on a cycle
more than 5,000 years long.

"Our philosophy about leap year is a complicated scheme to make the seasons jibe with the calendar," Aveni said.

"They were more concerned that time should be unbroken, not interfered with, and that the count of time should have continuity," he said.

I did some searching on the net.
The time for the event is 10:05 AM Central Time. That's 9:05 AM Eastern Time - New York
Now you know.
Our sun may go completely dark at around 9:04 AM EST.
It could look like a solar eclipse.
